This week on Under the Radar:

Up until 18 months ago, "9 to 5," with its traditional customs, was how millions of Americans went to work. But COVID-19 upended tradition, forcing many of us out of the office and back home working remotely. That’s been enough time for companies to see the pros and cons of remote work, and to start crafting future-of-work plans.

Many workers expected to return to the office this fall, but both the Delta variant and rising demand for remote jobs have made employers reconsider.

How will employers and employees find a balance? And, just what does the future of work look like locally and beyond?

GUESTS:

Debbie Lovich, managing director and senior partner of Boston Consulting Group.

Dena Upton, chief people officer at Drift, a software company with Boston headquarters, that is fully embracing the remote work lifestyle.
